    #888 Molinari

    Here is another shot, probably in its final race configuration.

    The way Olegator remembers it:
    OPEN COCKPIT MOLINARI
    ONE OF THE FIRST RACES I RAN AFTER GETTING OUT OF THE ARMY IN LATE 1967 I DROVE ONE OF THESE MOLINARIS I PICKED THE BOAT FROM LAKE X AND WAS TOLD TO BE REAL CAREFUL CAUSE THIS IS THE "OLD MANS" BOAT. IT HAD A REGULAR MERC 1250 ON IT. THE RACE WAS AT PELICAN HARBOR YACHT CLUB. I LED MOST OF THE RACE BUT WAS NOT CAREFUL ENOUGH AND BLEW A HOLE IN THE TUNNEL. I MADE IT TO THE DOCK AND IT SANK.

    The original shots have an 1100SS, not sure what it was racing with.

    Pretty sure it is the same type motor. In 1968 the 1250 came out and it didn't have the chrome handle on the top. The 1250 also had a lot more red on the decal.

    A Molly very much like that one showed up around Houston in the late '60. Richter I think had it for a while. The last account I had of it, Kenneth Mann had it. The # then was 501 and it was red & white. Gene Piehl may have had it sometime in that span. The boat I remember had a "Bad Habbit" of barrel rolling in corners. It did a 360 on Kenneth at Bayshore boat race in '68 or '69. A funny story goes with that roll. Kenneth said after he "flipped" his foot was caught in the steering wheel and he thought he was going to drown. So he took a hard lunge back under (he thought) the boat to free his foot and realized the boat was upright and that he was hanging over the side with his head stuck in the water. Said he felt a little silly when he saw all the boats going by him.

    I think that's the Molinari that Garbrecht flipped and damn near killed himself in.

    The one that Gary (he hurt his back and his pride) flipped was the first generation 18' rocker design. Looked like this.....

    Man, talk about becoming Curmudgeonly......77!!!! Most that know you from the Golden Years of Racing would not have given even the slimmest of chances for you to reach that ripe old age.....Happy Birthday Jackie and thanks for remembering the boys, made me feel good
